Driving along the German Alpine Road is an amazing movie-style experience. Welcome to a 450km winding tour through the majestic panorama of the Bavarian Alps, from Lindau on Lake Constance to Berchtesgaden on Lake Königssee.
This grande dame of Germany's scenic routes runs through the
spectacular Alpine foothills of southern Bavaria. With Mother Nature
acting both as stage designer and director, the slogan 'every mile – a
smile' couldn't be more apt. This stunningly scenic Alpine Road is
simply littered with treasures: 21 mountain lakes, 25 castles, palaces
and abbeys, more than 60 spa resorts and several hundred peaks – not to
mention the charming villages with their baroque, onion-domed churches,
and a host of bridges, viaducts, tunnels and mountain passes. The
panoramic Alpine views are shown to their best advantage in this region
bustling with merry musicians, where beer gardens and traditional inns
serve tankards of Bavaria's finest and customs are woven into the very
fabric of local life. The route also makes for some fantastic drives.
You don't have to be a mountaineer to be passionate about the Alps. They
are also a paradise for active holidaymakers or for those simply
seeking a relaxing break. Winter sports enthusiasts, culture aficionados
and wellness fans will also be in their element, along with
nature-loving hikers. The route boasts an exhilarating palette of
sights, scenery and places to visit, with a myriad of tempting
stopping-off points.
